Mayor Alvin Brown said the company’s expansion plans show Jacksonville is a “great place to invest and do business” and also “highlights the important and growing contribution of the health care industry to our local economy.”

The 125 jobs would pay an average salary of about $48,814 per year.

If approved by City Council, the bulk of the incentive package would come from the state’s Qualified Target Industry tax refund program. The state would pick up $300,000 of those incentives and the city would chip in $75,000, according to legislation filed Wednesday afternoon.

Sunshine Health, a Florida Medicaid health plan, which currently employs 107 in Jacksonville, is looking for additional leased space in the vicinity of its current Southside location, according to the mayor’s announcement.

The company, is a subsidiary of Centene Corp, a Fortune 500 company headquartered in St. Louis. The company has Florida offices in Jacksonville, Sunrise, Tampa and Orlando.

Wednesday’s announcement came on the heels of an announcement late last month that Adecco Group North America is seeking city incentives to move its headquarters and 185 jobs to Jacksonville from Melville, N.Y.

That includes payments from the state of $370,000 from the Governor’s Quick Action Closing Fund and another $333,000 from its Quick Response Training Program. The city would pay $185,000 from Jacksonville’s Countywide Economic Development Fund.

The full council is expected to weigh that package of incentives next week.
